The Phoenician Scheme

Zsa-zsa Korda, an industrialist who keeps surviving crashes, tries to finish one vast project and names his daughter the heir in case he does not. Anderson builds the deal as a series of meetings with a nun who would rather not inherit it. Benicio del Toro plays Korda’s charm as a weapon. Mia Threapleton’s Liesl has a vocation and a suspicion. The Focus trailer is the plane and the briefcase. The film is a father asking to be trusted with the books.
